This paper reports a study on the perception of safety in a public housing scheme. It uses two different models to explain this phenomenon. The rationale was that the components of these models are associated with the quality of life of residents. The results suggest that the model which explains the perception of safety using facilitating factors (vulnerability and disorder) is more explanatory than the model which uses inhibiting factors (social participation and sense of community).
